[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 324062, member: 1695"] Picked these cois up at a 2nd hand shop a while back, some are .925 silver, some part silver whilst the remainder are cupro nickel. I mainly purchased them due to the sheer size of the coins, as seen in comparison to a $1 coin. The list is as follows: Top row - 1968 Mexican 25 pesos - .720 silver, Bermuda Silver Wedding $1 - .925 silver, Gibraltar 1970 One Crown - Cupro Nickel, Canadian 1976 $5 - .970 silver, Mauritas 1977 twenty five rupees - .925 silver. Bottom row: Trsitan Da Cunha 1977 twenty five pence - cupro nickel, 1973 five Marks - .625 silver, 1966 Irish Uprising Anniversary 10 shilling - .833 silver, 1969 Turks & Caigos Islands One Crown - Cupro Nickel, 1977 Bailiwick of Guernsey twenty five pence - Cupro Nickel. Just for giggles, I ran the silver coins under the Deus coil, and all silvers read 97-98, whilst all the large Cupro Nickel coins read 85-86. :) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1492591258_img_20170419_175426.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1492591297_img_20170419_175539.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1492591420_img_20170419_175619.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1492591381_img_20170419_175457.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
